Another alternative, try contacting DBA (Disc Brakes Australia) or one of their re-sellers.

Re: car runs differently/better when warm

You will usually have the car carrying on a bit when it's cold due to the incorrect heat which helps to ignite the fuel within the combustion chamber. Once the engine has reached its operating temperature (around 180-185 farenheit) the fuel mixture is then condensed better with the in coming air. Al...

Re: What is a "redline inspection" ?

It may of been 'redlined' by a fellow customs enthusiast, just to see what it looks like?

Make sure you receive the car in complete condition as it left in the USA...

Re: Cowl Vent delete ????

My 2 'bobs' worth... The plenum grill add's that 'original' character to these cars which you don't see in todays vehicles. I'd purchase a plenum cowl cover for the times when you want your closed circuit with the air conditioning, however nothing beats the 'Fresh Air' circulation drawn in via the p...

Re: Hurst Competition plus for 69

Hi robsilveri, Personally, I wouldn't waste my time with (and the cost to rebuild) a standard OE shifter as they're no way as positive as the Hurst Competition Plus shifter's when selecting gears (what they were designed to do...). Also, the stock style OE shifter will only shift correctly for a per...

Re: What engine is this ?

A Gurney Weslake based on a Ford 289 engine... Edit... Gurney Eagle, later version of the same top end setup. http://www.flickr.com/photos/27666849@N04/2591966886/ Do not think that car is part of the Bowden Collection. I will have to look through their site. http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr68...

Re: What's the right timing for a 390 GT

Hi Bumblebee, I'd check to see what total advance you're running at the moment as a starting point (you want your total timing in at around 3,000RPM). That way you can see what timing has been built into the distributor (.i.e. spring tension). Aim as a start, 32 degrees total advance to be on ths sa...

Re: aluminium heads for 302 stroker

I have the 205's, its a bit slugish below 3k THEN it gets violent, But I love it but wish I had the 185's, that way the violence would happen sooner! I am putting 185 Dart Iron eagle on the 408, that will really happen early, with tons of torque. lUVhEV Hi Hev, Depending upon the Cc in the combusti...

Re: Project Brandy

OK, it has been a couple of months since I have had the chance to post any pics on this thread. Most the time has been spent on buying suspension parts etc so not much has been happening to the car.
